New submission from Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>: The urllib.request documentation that they can add their own protocol handlers, however they are unclear on how they should be named. We should replace instances of things like protocol_request with <protocol>_request to make it clear that we are literally replacing "protocol" with the literal protocol. I am creating this issue because I had to actually read the urllib.request source code in order to figure out how to use the protocol handler APIs. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 329210 nosy: Denton-L, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify Protocol Handlers in urllib.request Docs type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35155> _______________________________________
